A glue box 375 is fastened by means of a bracket 376 tothe table 20. It has journaled therein the glue Wheel 377 and thespindle 379. The latter has extending therefrom a cleaning blade 378 andthe hand wheel 380. A

bracket 385 extends from the glue box 375 and supports a pin 386. On thepin 386 are supported a pair of wheels 387, between which is located areel of a paper band 389. A leg 390vextends from the bracket 385 andcarries a pin 391. An arm 392 with the counter weight 393 is fastened tothe pin 391. A presser finger 394 is also fastened vto said pin 391 andbears on the reel of' paper 389. Brackets 395, 396 and 397 eX- tend fromthe glue box 375 and have journaled therein respectively the rollers398, 399 and 400. An arm 401 extends from the glue box 37 5 and carriesat its outer end a sheave V402. A band 403 with one end fastened to thelink 372 passes over the sheave 402 and supports the weight 404. Asupporting plate 405 is hinged to the arm 363 and is directly above theglue wheel 377.

To operate the machine the paper band 3.89 is led from its reel over therollers 398, 399 and glue wheel 377, which latter spreads a film Vofglue thereon. The paper band then leads under the roller 400, and overthe roller 373. It then passes `over the table 223, and is preventedfrom slipping backwardly by the pawl 235. The band 389 neX-t movesdownwardly in front of the rubber buffer 231 by the action of thebending arm 23,3. A plurality of paste board strips 421 preferablynotched at 422 to enable them to be shaped to forni the necks or 'framesto be formed, are located between the tie bracesI 181, 182 and 183, 184.The pusher plate 212 bearing against said strips by virtue of theresulting effect of the weight 219 on the sliding carriage 209,maintaining them with the requisite frictional engagement bet veen saidplate and the upright 179. T he shaft I23 is rotated by means of a beltnot shown engaging the pulley 28. T he pinion 32 and gear 41 transmitrotation to the cam shaft 40.. The cam drum 43 rotates with the shaft 40and thereby the rollers 61, 62, 63 impart an oscillating motion to thepairs of arms 55-56, 57.-58, and 59-60- The said arms respectivelyreciprocate the sleeves 88, 87 86. The cam 42 of the spur gear 41 movesthe roller 104 and thereby oscillates the lever 103, which latterthrough the link 99 reciprocates the rod and thereby the plunger 170 isreciprocated, The sleeves 86, 37 and :88 are simultaneously reciprocatedby virtue of the engagements of the rollers 63, 62 and 61 with theirrespective groove cams in the cam drum 43. After the said sleeves haverespectively completed a forward and return stroke, they are turned onerevolution by the action of the sector 30 on the gear 81, the lattertransmitting rotation to the Vpinion 33. The lever 7,6 maintains thesleeves proper position after each rev-olution, by virtue of the toe 79locking with notch 72. The cam 7 5 controls the engagement the toe v794with the notch 72. When the guide boxes 135, 140 and the blocks 145, 146are at rest and in the positions shown particularly in Fig. 3; thestrips 421 are pushed down consecutively one after the other through theopening 178 by the pusher plate 137, the strip adjacent to the upright179 being the one that is acted upon. The moving strip is therebylocated alongside a pair of accompanying ends of the guide blocks 145,146 and is guided in place by the fingers 142, 143. The strips travel tothe' lower end of the said sides of the said blocks and are pinched bythe catch 151.

rThe distance that the strips are pushed down is controlled. by thelocation of the adjusting screw 190, the latter controlling the strokeof the pusher block 186. The said pusher block is controlled by theaction of the cam 203 on the bell crank with the arms 196 and 197 andthe interposed linked connections. The spring 195 always tends to pulldown the lever 193 that controls the movement of the pusher plate 137.After each strip has been lowered in position, the pusher plate 187rises, and the rubber buffer 231 pushes the glued paper band 389 againstthe strip. r1`his result is` attained by the action of the cam 246 onthe roller .245 our-V naled on the lever 242. rThereby the pawl forcesthe paper band against ythe table 223, moving the carriage 222, byreason of" which the butter 231 bears against the said paper band andforces it against the strip that is located in its path and the gluefastens them together. lhen the buffer 231 holds the paper band againstits strip, the roller 263 bears against the paper and remains thenduring complete revolution of the guide boxes and blocks, to maintainthe glued paper band against the strips.V As

soon as the roller 263 bears against 'the band i the carriage recedesfrom the blocks v145, 146 and the guide boxes 1,35, `140 said boxes andblocks turning. llllhen they have made a quarter of a revolution theroller 253 comes in contact with the band that has just been glued toone of the strips. Before the guide boxes 135, 140V and bloc-ks 145,146have made a complete revolution the paper band is cut by means of theblades 346, 347 of' the shears. The shears are operated by the cam 363engaging the roller 361 against the tension of the spring 356. rllhe cam363 moves the link 339 in the direction of the arrow A shown in Fig. 19by reason of which the carriage 337 moves in the same direction as alsothe blades of the shears. Vihen the stop pin 333 strikes the stop 334,Ithe carriage is stopped and the screw pin 3,44 engaging the slots i343and 349 causes the shears lto close. By the movement of the arm 354 inan opposite direct-ion, the screw pin 344 .causes the blades 346 and 347to open, and the carriage moves to its former position. The pin 33.2 incase the, blades the direction of arrow B F ig. o

should not open by the spring 343 will strike the stop 334 and open thesaid blades. After the band has been severed the bending arm 233 bendsit by gravity in the path ot' the butter 231.

lVhen the guide boxes with their blocks have made one revolution theycome to a stop by reason of the function of the sector S0 and the lever7 6 which maintains the disk 71 in place. Both the rollers 253 and 254after one complete revolution of the boxes recede therefrom and theboxes and blocks or former simultaneously move outward in Withoutaltering their relative positions, until the paper band 389 comes in thepath of the closer bars 305, 306, 307 and 315. The closer 280 now beginsits operations by the action of the cam 329 on the roller 323, whichmoves the adjustable link 325. The pin 317 thereby moves the ringcarrier 283. The pins 284, 265, 236 and 267 close the closer plates 305,306, 307 and 315, which bends t-he paper band over the edge 'frames orneck that has been made from the strip. Next the guide box 135 movestoward the closer 280 in the direction oit the arrow I3 and the blocks145 and 146 in the meantime remain stationary. Next the closer partiallyopens to allow the plunger 170 to enter the frame or neck and therebybends and pushes the paper band therein, at the same time the blocks145, 146 recede from the frame or neck and move into the second guidebox 140 as shown in Fig. 14. The finishing plunger 170 'follows theblocks 145, 146. Then the closer totally opens and the. finishingplunger 170 moves within the neck and forces the glued paper against theinner tace of the same, the outer box 135 prevents the frame or neckfrom spreading. Then the outer box 135 withdraws from the frame or neckand the latter remains on the slotted end 171 ot' the finishing plunger.Next the outer guide box 135, the second guide box 140 and the blocks145, 146 move back to their relative original positions. Vhile the paperband 369 is clamped by the pawl 235, the lever 368 by the action oit thecam 371 causesl the link 369 to move in the direction of the arrow C,Fig. 1 and the arm 365 engaging the pin 374 causes the arm 372 With itsroller 373 to move in the same direction. Thereby the paper band 389 ispulled from its reel. The arm 365 next recedes from the pin 374 and theband is maintained in its position by the weight 404. This4 function isprovided so that when the band is again pulled by the action of the pawl235 with its carriage 222, the paper is not then paid out from its reelby the elevation of the weight 404. This is necessary by reason of thejerky motion given the band by the rectangular form of the boxes andblocks.
